World Junior Championship Track and Field

[Nevada Hoya]

The World Junior Championships is being held in China this week. Bumbi was supposed to run both the 1500 and 5000m races, but has opted out of the 5000m. There has been some conjecture on the running boards that, given the proximity of the XC season, he should have been running the 5000m, instead of the 1500m. His warmup in Eugene last week consisted of a fast 1000m; he looked pretty good in doing that. Other Hoyas there in China for the meet are Alex Mason in the 3000 SC and Natasha LaBeaud in the 5000m.

The final lineup for the 1500m. Note that Bumbi, one of three non-Africans, has the slowest PR. So anything other than last will be gravy:

Bumbi finished 10th in the world juniors. He was close to his PR in this championship event, so good job for him. Now on to XC!
